I need advice on rent skimming landlord

[ucodegen]

He wants his rent check and i am talking about putting it in attorney trust until he pulls it out of foreclosure. I know it is going to piss him off. Why can’t i file a suit against him for rent skimming, put the money in trust, call the bank and tell them I want the house and I am not leaving.

Don’t tell the bank that you want the house and you are not leaving. They will feel they have a lock over you. You will not get a good price. Instead you should notify the bank of what is going on and get ready to move.. for real. Tell them that you are willing to purchase it for a good price but they need to move. Give yourself a timeline and if the bank doesn’t move in time or asks too high a price.. move!!

Kids don’t need stability in a house. They need stability in family relations. The stress of this unknown is worse than just moving for them.

two migraines later, I am beginning to agree that this is not worth the drama.

My other thought process was to tell the LL hey look I won’t sue you for the rent already plus damages times 3 if you don’t file a UD, collect more rent or try to evict me. i thought it was a win- win but my husband said it sounds like i am threatening to sue him. My thought is quite the opposite. Leave me in peace I will leave you in peace. Of course for the trouble and the fact that i paid a HEFTY deposit… i am not leaving until they put that note on the door.

does that offer sound threatening or am I naive to think that he might possess an ounce of common decency.

So are you suggesting that in exchange for not suing the LL, he would let you live there for free? Sounds like the two of you deserve each other. Karma indeed.

BPO- Broker’s Price Opinion I think. They send someone to give them an estimate of what a broker would put it on the market for- as opposed to an appraiser. If you’re planning on purchasing come hell or high water, pay the rent and buy the place. That’s what you were originally planning on anyway right? Withholding the rent (while totally understandable and desirable) has potential ramifications that you don’t need, if indeed you’re going to purchase. I’d only stop paying the month of the trustee’s sale. But it would still irk me about that deposit you’re not going to get back.
Negotiating I’d look for a win win win. Bank wipes a bad loan off, you get a house, landlord gets out from under a bad deal (and without any more of your money) Don’t know if there is one, but maybe you can think of one.
